To find the process that uses the most memory using top
 
Hi ,

I am looking for the equivalent top command on linux to achieve the result
I have used this on sun

top -i ${PWD}/top.out -n 10000 -s 10 -d 1000000

however the above won't work on linux ??

Thanks

I don't know exactly how to do it but I'd start with `ps -aux`, which gives the % memory used in the 4th column. Then pipe the output through `sort` and `cut` to get the output in the format you want.

I am trying to achieve the following

System: Wed Jul 4 12:41:33 2007
Load averages: 0.02, 0.04, 0.09
288 processes: 256 sleeping, 31 running, 1 zombie
Cpu states:
CPU LOAD USER NICE SYS IDLE BLOCK SWAIT INTR SSYS
0
1

any ideas how i can this with the top command

Thanks
